Adding or Removing Windows Components

Windows Vista comes with a collection of components, such as Internet Explorer, Windows Mail, Windows Media Player, or Windows Messenger, you can use to get work done and have fun on your computer. When you install Windows Vista, not all the components on the installation disc are installed on your computer. You can use the the Programs and Features utility (New!) in the Control Panel to install additional components.

If you are no longer using a Windows component, you can remove it to save disk space.
